Anatomy of a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)

With eBay Motors, CarFax will run the Vehicle identification number for you in order to provide a plethora of useful information.  With the VIN, CarFax will return:

Has the car been in a severe accident Is the car a lemon? Has the car been flooded? Has the car experienced odometer problems? How many owners has the car had? Is the car a high mileage car? Has the car been used as a rental car? Has the car been used as a fleet car (taxi, etc) ? Has the car ever been declared a total loss? Have the airbags been deployed? Has the car experienced frame damage? Has the car been regularly maintained?

All this from a single number, or what’s come to be known as a car’s DNA.  The (V)ehicle (I)dentification  (N)umber is located below the windshield, on the driver’s side, above the steering wheel.  Many people also get their car’s VIN etched onto the various windows of the car, as well. Other common locations are the firewall, radiator support bracket, left hand iner wheel arch, steering column, guarantee & maintenance booklet, machined pad on the front of the engine, driver’s door or post on passenger’s side and component parts (engine, frame, etc)
